Please check and see if you are an un-convicted felon: http://www.dumblaws.com/states/ under the laws of your state. Not sure of the gravity of pubishment for breaking some of these laws but I recall strengthening of blue laws recently in several states.
Felons should not own guns. Really?

I think if you are hunting whales here in Utah you qualify for an extended visit to the state mental hospital.

Well - Thank Gawd that ambulance call got cancelled!
Vegas is the 'quickie' wedding capitol of the world?
According to one of NC's dumb-law's:
"If a man and a woman who aren't married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married."
Well hot damn! Off to the Motel 6 with $32.99 + tax and you're hitched! No license, no blood test, no muss, no fuss!
I see great potential in this.

Youngstown Ohio:
You may not run out of gas.
Three guesses which Ohio resident poster knew that one from first hand experience.
The ticket would have been $35.00 and costs if the cop wasn't laughing so hard. He didn't cite me the first time, or the second time,,,,,an hour later,,,at the same location...on the other side of the road,,,in a different vehicle.
Don't ask.

Ok here are three from my state, the ultra commie land of NJ
1. You may not slurp your soup.
2. It is against the law to "frown" at a police officer.
3. It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season
Hmmmm I would LOVE to see someone get arrested for these.. Talk about lawsuits, and violation of Civil Rights!
Here is the best one, HAHAHHAHA! (Beer is alright though)
Manville, NJ
It is illegal to offer whiskey or cigarettes to animals a the local zoo.

There's one in Pennsylvania that said you have to precede your car at night, swinging a lantern, to warn oncoming horse and buggies. ???
"Well, we thought it was a good idea at the time . . ."
They're arguments for Sunsetting ALL laws.
I've always thought legislatures of all stripes should be made to review laws over 25-50 years old that are on the books and prune accordingly.
That would keep 'em so busy, they would have time to make up new ones.
And if they did, Sunset them also.

Good point Oleg. It doesn't take much to become a felon. It doesn't even require the Common Law standard of "Crimminal Intent" anymore. Just driving your car containing a firearm down the street in front of a school will do it in some jurisdictions.
wow, I'm guilty...
Wow. I have a lot of money in fines to pay for this one!
New York State by the way...
A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.

Illinois laws:
The English language is prohibited. That's right, it's a crime to speak English in Illinois.
You must contact the police of any city before entering it in an automobile.
"Eavesdropping" on your own conversation is a Class 4 Felony. (meaning you will not be able to keep your FOID card or handle guns.)
In Chicago, one may not fish while seated on the neck of a Giraffe.
However, it IS legal to protest naked in front of city hall as long as you are younger than 17 years of age and have the proper permit.
In Evanston, both bowling and trick-or-treating are prohibited.
In Fairfield County, it is illegal for "negroes" to be in the county from sunset to sunrise.
And the best "Dumb Law?"
"In Morton Grove, you may not own a handgun."
These guys appear to get it.
